As a child I had considerably more than 42 Pokemon cards, from that time range, and all in excellent condition with several "shinies"... all of which went into the washing machine because I left them in my pocket. Depressing.

Pokemon cards are today's latest ponzi scheme and have an infinite printing supply without any utility or valid use case whatsoever.
They are today's beanie babies and is a complete waste of money. Even stablecoins have a better use case than this over inflated garbage.

Pokemon battles have some amount of entertainment value.
I mean sure, it's glorified cock fighting for kids, but that doesn't diminish the utility of the game as entertainment. It just makes it squishier.

It's kind of funny to see the Pokemon card vending machines at various grocery stores.
Today I went to a hardware store, and was surprisingly shocked to find a Pokemon card vending machine there too.
